Following the hero’s journey to create stories

Taught by Carson Beker

Open to 12 students, ages 11 to 14

A four-week
workshop

October 8-29

Saturdays, 3-5 PM

The craft of writing is like the hero’s journey.Just as a hero is one who answers the call to
adventure, a great writer is anyone who answers the call to write with a brave “yes!”
In an atmosphere of support for our fellow members of the heroic authors’
guild, we will explore the hero’s journey as it relates to writers: crossing
the threshold to talk about setting; meeting friendly and unfriendly characters
with empathy; overcoming conflict; fiercely facing the abyss of no-inspiration,
and returning to the community with a gift.
